Africa-Press – Eswatini. Over 80 residents of Dvokodvweni Constituency received free medical services from the Taiwan Medical Mission over the weekend.
Medical specialists led by the Minister to the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in Eswatini Ching-lin Tsuei offered free services, which include ultra sound check-up, specialists consultation and medication to patients to name a few at temporary facility at Dlalisile High School in Hlane.
Tsuei said every month they chose rural areas to provide free medical services as most people there were unable to access such services in health facilities.
He said the medical mission provided routine daily medical services at the Mbabane Government Hospital and they had realised that it was difficult for a number of people to reach most health facilities for medical services due to various reasons.
He stated that they chose the rural areas and coordinate with the local authorities to find a venue that would be convenient for the people of that area.
Tsuei added that during the outreach they were also providing health education to Emaswati, whereby they taught them about their health, taking precautionary measures in their daily lives, and how they could detect any kind of symptoms so that they consult a doctor.
Adding on the minister’s remarks, Dr Tu Hsueh YEH from the Taiwan Medical Mission said from their outreach, they brought various specialists from different medical fields.
Hsueh YEH said from their assessments, severe cases were referred to the Mbabane Government Hospital for further analysis.
He stated that they also added on health education to capacitate patients on how they could look after their health.
Residents appreciated the help they got from the doctors. Nokuthula Dlamini from Hlane area said she was happy to be attended to by the doctors and pleaded with the mission to return so that more people could benefit.
Dlamini applauded the dedication and the services she got from the doctors, as she stated that they were doing a tremendous job and their services were good. “I encourage everybody to come and take medication here, I was very pleased. On behalf of Emaswati, I do appreciate their services,” Dlamini said.
Gcinile Tfwala shared the same sentiments, stating that she was able to get help from her illness.
